Aero Union, a supplier of special mission airborne equipment, delivered the first 3,600-gallon fuselage fuel tank system for the C-130 Hercules in early February. The tank system will be installed on a Royal Malaysian Air Force C-130H as part of a transport-to-tanker conversion contract. The 3,600-gallon tank is a cradle-mounted system that weighs 2,260 pounds and is used extensively in the KC-130 Hercules tankers operated by the US Marine Corps and several other tactical air tanker operators. Aero Union also produces the C-130 twin 1,800-gallon tank system, which has been in use by the air forces of Australia, Israel, Morocco, and the United States for many years.
